Technical field
Present invention relates in general to such one type pipe, it can be used to encapsulate underground cable such as fiber optic cables, concentric cable etc.The present invention be more particularly directed to a kind of separation device, thereby this equipment can insert in the pipeline this pipeline is divided into different zones.The present invention refers in particular to a kind of elongated shape separation device of flexibility, like this its can be inserted into one buried and wherein existing single line cable, have in the pipeline of analog such as corner elbow.
Cable such as optical telecommunications cable usually all will be in the very long distances in lower berth, ground, sometimes or even several kilometer.It is underground that those skilled in the art know that cable will be embedded in, and goes up the bracing or strutting arrangement of not assembling current collection cable and cable in this wise.In addition, cable is layered on the underground damage that makes it avoid various meteorological conditions and other potential harmful condition.
Background technology
Thereby those skilled in the art know that cable will be laid in the pipeline can protect underground cable more all sidedly.This pipeline normally forms by being layered on polychloroethylene pipes or analog underground, that have certain-length.Then, and a rope blown over pipeline, an end of rope is hitched a communication cable, cable is dragged piping thereby pull rope.In a single day cable is put well in pipeline, pipeline just can protect cable to avoid the damage of various meteorological conditions, water and other factor.
Have now found that some rodent gnaws through underground pipeline sometimes.Therefore, the diameter of used most of underground pipeline is all at two more than the inch, thereby it is damaged even as big as preventing most of rodents.Although this pipeline can provide excellent protection for communication cable, can there be a large amount of untapped spaces or shadow region in this pipeline.Along with the invention of fiber optic cables, therefore a kind of diameter of cable can only have half inch or littler, just has more dead band in the common like this pipeline.
When a pipeline after underground burying, may also to move second communication cable subsequently at same position.Therefore, preferably utilize the dead band of existing pipeline from the economical angle that saves time, rather than repave one section new pipeline.Yet, have found that it is very difficult only inserting second cable in the pipeline of an existing cable.When rope is blown in the pipeline of an existing cable, perhaps " to crawl " when passing this pipeline when second cable, their are understood usually be blocked thereby can't insert second cable by first pipeline.
Thereby someone advises a separation scraper is inserted in the pipeline this pipeline is divided into various piece, and inserting second cable like this will be easier.The problem of doing like this is when the pipeline of laying is very long, wherein always has some and rises and falls, and also can run into the bending in the design sometimes, such as at the underpass place etc., present so known separation scraper these local lay get up promptly to allow to also very difficult.
Therefore just need a kind of equipment that a pipeline is divided into as a underground communication cable pipeline or be divided into different parts.This equipment must be able to be inserted into one and be embedded in the underground pipeline, and wherein also may there be the sharp turn in this pipeline voltage mile that can wriggle.Here also need a kind of separation device, it can utilize the space in the pipeline better.
Summary of the invention
The present invention includes a kind of inner tube structure of flexibility, it is configured to be used for hold a cable in a pipeline.Should in pipe comprise a pair of adjacent flexible material bar shaped layer body, thereby this flexible material bar shaped layer body along longitudinal edge in conjunction with forming a passage, by this passage cable can vertically pass layer with layer between inner tube structure.A principal character of the present invention is, an adjacent layer body has different width between its longitudinal edge, thereby thereby the layer of broad know from experience drum forms passage from narrower layer body a opening.
Further feature of the present invention relates to the material that constitutes inner tube structure.These features comprise the structure of material, as its braiding structure, also comprise physical characteristics such as fusing point, tensile strength, extensibility, friction factor, coiling-resistant intensity and the compression and back renaturation etc. of material.

Embodiment
With reference now to accompanying drawing,, plug-in unit of Reference numeral 10 expressions, this plug-in unit also can be described as pipe at this, and it is inserted in the fiber optic cables pipeline 12.As shown in Figure 3, have in one in the pipeline 12 and manage 10, obviously also can in a pipeline 12, insert many interior pipes as interior pipe 10 according to the difference of pipeline 12 diameters.For example, thus three so interior pipes can be inserted into a diameter is to form 9 passages that can insert fiber optic cables in 4 inches the pipeline.
Pipe 10 is all interconnected by tissue layer 16,18,20,22 etc. and forms a plurality of passages 14 in each root.In the first embodiment of the present invention, pipe 10 all has three by above-mentioned layer 16,18,20,22 formed passage 14 in each root.Overlap on the marginal portion of other layer and with sewing thread 24 or other suitable method such as ultrasonic soldering layer 16,18,20,22 is coupled together by the marginal portion 25 with orlop 16, these layers are connected with each other along their relative vertical lateral sections.
This textile material is preferably flexible material, thereby does not have overslaugh or do not produce too much heat interior pipe 10 can be pulled through pipeline 12 time.Thereby this textile material also has other various ways makes cable in one of them passage 14 can not run into cable in the adjacency channel 14.For this reason, layer 16,18,20,22 in first embodiment all is that filament number is 520 deniers' 100% a plain weave nylon material, it is all knitted with 38.5 filling density with through close (pick and endcount) at broadwise and warp-wise, has the filling density of 40X40 after weaving and through close.The weight of this fabric is 6.0 ounces every yard (oz.yd).Obviously filament number can change between the 200-1000 denier, thus and filling density and also can change to some extent to provide required covering to prevent from effectively to contact between the fiber optic cables through close.
As mentioned above, yarn is preferably 520 deniers' nylon 6 monofilament, but also can adopt the polyester of another kind of yarn as 520 deniers, as long as it has required characteristic.
Interior pipe 10 preferably constructs in the following manner. Earlier tissue layer 16,18,20,22 is woven into rectangle, be cut into bar along warp-wise then, this width minimum of 20 wherein, adjacent bar 18 and 22 broads, bar 16 is the wideest, like this when bar 16-22 when their longitudinal edge partly engages, the bar 16,18,22 of broad is heaved and is formed passage 14. Bar 16,18,22 just is layered between the adjacent strip after cutting out well.Then vertical lateral section 25 of nethermost 16 is turned up and is stacked on other vertical lateral section, then make and form interior pipe 10 shown in Figure 1.
Thereby in the pipe 10 do very long can being inserted in the pipeline 12 that had before installed.Each layer 16-22 is by making or thereby other connected mode connects the textile material bar end-to-end continuously and forms corresponding length.The dragrope 26 that is preferably woven plastics band or woven plastics rope ties up to of fiber optic cables (not shown), catches the other end of dragrope 26 to drag passage 14 then.Dragrope 26 preferably promptly is placed on the layer 16,18,20 before the connection of marginal portion overlapping along the longitudinal at layer 16-22.
For example as shown in Figure 3, in one pipe 10 to be inserted in an internal diameter be in 4 inches the pipeline 12.Strip-shaped fabric layer 20 is 3 inches wide, and layer 18 and 22 is 4 inches wide, and layer 16 is 6 inches wide.Therefore the width of this narrowest one deck is less than the internal diameter of pipeline 12.Do like this manage in helping when interior pipe 10 is pulled through pipeline 12 to make 10 and pipeline 12 between the friction minimum.
Pipe is made easily in above-mentioned, and this structure can make fiber optic cables can drag passage with not hindering, perhaps can be owing to friction not form heat accumulation continuously, and this structure can not make between the adjacent fiber cable in other passage of plug-in unit and forms contact or alternation loss.
Figure 4 shows that second embodiment of the flexible inner tube structure 100 of the present invention.The same with the inner tube structure 10 among first embodiment, inner tube structure 100 among second embodiment also comprises flexible woven material 102,104,106,108, they respectively along its longitudinal edge portions 110,112,114 and 116 through sewing up 118 and the bar shaped layer that couples together.Adjacent each all forms separately cable passage 121,123 or 125 to layer.According to the present invention, each all has different width to layer between their longitudinal edge portions, so the layer of broad can rouse from narrower layer in this a pair of layer, thereby forms the opening of passage 121,123 or 125.
The same with interior pipe 10, passage 121,123 or 125 opening help cable vertically to insert and dragged passage 121,123 or 125 by separately dragrope 131,133 and 135 in the interior pipe 100.This is because the space of layer between the 102-108 helps to prevent that them from being dropped along with cable, thereby pipe 100 longitudinally moves past at cable and dragrope 131-135 under the effect of passage 121,123 or 125 assemble bunchy in pipeline in helping to prevent.
As mentioned above, thus the formation of interior pipe 10 sections parts is to be interconnected along their longitudinal edge portions by different textile material bars to form alternating layer 16,18,20 and 22 and realize.As shown in Figure 4, the alternating layer 102,104,106 and 108 of interior pipe 100 be only by a textile material 140 through folding and they the longitudinal edge portions interconnection and form.The present invention also can adopt two, three, four or more strip materials to form alternating layer.Each bar all is in a plurality of continuous bars, and formation has the interior pipe of certain-length, for example extensible three to four miles of this length thereby these ends link to each other with end.
Fig. 5 is the part synoptic diagram that is contained in the fiber optic cables 150 in the pipe in the present invention.Cable 150 comprise one its contain the plastic casing 152 of a branch of optical fiber 154.Each layer that is used for holding the interior pipe of cable 150 preferably is made of flexible plastic material, with respect to plastic casing 152, specifies the temperature of fusion of this material to be not less than the temperature of fusion of plastic casing material, more preferably is higher than the temperature of fusion of plastic casing material.This helps to guarantee can not make cable 150 burn throughs because of sliding friction when cable 150 is managed in vertically dragging.According to feature of the present invention, interior pipe layer is preferably formed by nylon 6, and its temperature of fusion is approximately 220 ℃ like this.
For the burn through impedance of cable, can also stipulate that this test roughly is similar to the cutting test of known Bellcore dragrope pipeline with reference to dragrope pipeline cutting test result.According to feature of the present invention, the material of interior pipe layer preferably is defined as: diameter is the sample that 0.25 polypropylene rope can the burn through inner tube structure when continuing to drag sample in 90 seconds at least with the speed of 100 feet of per minutes under 450 pounds of pulling force.
The material of interior pipe layer can further be stipulated with respect to the material of dragrope.According to feature of the present invention, the material of layer and the material of dragrope preferably have length growth rate separately, and this length growth rate is equal substantially under given pulling force.If the length growth rate of interior pipe obviously is different from the length growth rate of dragrope.When these structures were dragged a pipeline together, a structure can lag behind to some extent with respect to other structure, and wherein these structures are to be contained in together in this pipeline.Layer material and dragrope material are under the peak value drag load, and promptly just the length growth rate before breaking preferably is not more than 75%, and preferably approximately between 15% to 60%.More preferred range is about 25% to 40%.For example, nylon 6 is exactly a kind of preferable material, and its length growth rate under the peak value drag load is about 40%.Polyester is another kind of preferable material, and its length growth rate under the peak value drag load is about 25%.
The tensile strength of the material of pipe layer in further feature of the present invention relates to.In an interior pipe of the present invention, the endwise tensile strength of each layer is preferably at least about 12.5 pounds of per inch width.The endwise tensile strength of each layer can be in the scope of about 12.5 to 300 pounds of per inch width, more preferably in the scope of 50 to 250 pounds of per inch width.Yet most preferably the endwise tensile strength of each layer is in the scope of 100 to 200 pounds of per inch width.For example, each layer 102,104,106 and 108 in the interior pipe 100 can be made of a kind of like this woven fabric material, and its warp and parallel all are made of nylon 6, and its endwise tensile strength is about 150 pounds of per inch width.
Interconnective each layer made the as a whole inner tube structure that forms together, and its endwise tensile strength is at least about 90 pounds of per inch width.But its endwise tensile strength can be in the scope of 50 to 5000 pounds of per inch width, and preferred scope is about from 125 to 4500 pounds, and highly preferred scope is from 1250 to 4000 pounds approximately.
Further feature of the present invention can describe with reference to figure 6.Specifically, Fig. 6 is the synoptic diagram of the used woven interior pipe textile material bar 160 of the present invention.This has along its length the warp thread 162 that extends and across the weft yarn 164 of its Width.Shown in giving an example among Fig. 4, weft yarn 164 is flexible and has certain rigid or certain curling resistance, in this helps in the pipe layer body of broad keep the state that they heave with respect to narrower layer, and can not curl or play crease towards adjacent narrower layer.Vertically do not consider this curling or crease substantially at each layer.Therefore, the curling resistance of warp thread 162 can be less than the curling resistance of weft yarn 164 among Fig. 6.The preferred embodiment of bar 160 is like this equally, and wherein warp thread 162 is made of polyester, and it has first curling resistance; Weft yarn 164 is made of nylon 6, and it has the second bigger curling resistance.Thereby polyester is preferably used as the elongation difference minimum that warp thread 162 makes itself and dragrope, and dragrope also preferably is made of polyester.
Curling resistance can recover the angle by curling and represent.Should curl recover the angle and be according to AATCC method 66 with sample material behind broken line folding 180 degree, the number of degrees that sample returns towards straight open mode.For example, the material of a kind of specific interior pipe layer that constitutes according to the present invention, its warp thread is the heat curing-type polyester, weft yarn is a nylon 6.The curling recovery angle that has found that this material warp-wise is 70 degree, and the curling recovery angle of broadwise is 135 degree; The material of a kind of similar true qualities polyester rather than heat curing-type polyester is 50 degree at the curling recovery angle of warp-wise, is 125 degree at the curling recovery angle of broadwise; A kind of material that all has the heat curing-type polyester yarn in warp-wise and broadwise is 90 degree at the curling recovery angle of warp-wise, is 75 degree at the curling recovery angle of broadwise; And be 130 degree at the curling recovery angle of warp-wise at the similar material that warp-wise and broadwise only have a true qualities nylon yarn, at the curling recovery angle of broadwise 120 degree.
Thereby in the material of pipe layer must have enough rigidity can shrinkage or agglomerating under the effect of dragrope and cable, thereby but its also must have enough pliabilities can drag at an easy rate wherein be mounted with in the corner and fluctuating place of pipeline of pipe.INDA IST90.3 test process is a kind of method of determining interior pipe layer material rigidity.In this process, at first a flexible material sample is completed on grooved surface, force material to pass this slit with a blade then, the result represents with applied force.According to the present invention, vertically extend through pipe layer material in of slit and can be forced to broken line bending along a horizontal expansion, this rigidity test results is preferably approximately in the scopes of 950 to 1750 grams.Lateral extensometer is crossed pipe layer material in of slit can be forced to broken line bending around a longitudinal extension, and its rigidity test results is preferably in the scopes of 150 to 750 grams.Therefore it is less interiorly to manage the rigidity of layer material bar on width; Big suppleness corresponding on its width has then helped avoid crease, thereby the broad layer of pipe is heaved state with respect to adjacent than the streak maintenance in helping, this as top with reference to figure 4 described.For example, the weft yarn 164 of woven interior pipe textile material bar 160 (Fig. 6) is made of nylon 6, and the rigidity test results that has found that this yarn is between 350 to 550 grams; Its warp thread 162 is made of polyester.The rigidity test results that has found that this yarn is between 1250 to 1450 grams.
Also can stipulate the friction factor of interior pipe layer material of the present invention.According to feature of the present invention, based on the high-density polyethylene material of its acting force along the longitudinal axis of material, dry type coefficient of static friction of pipe layer material is preferably approximately between 0.010 to 0.500 in this.This scope more preferably approximately is from 0.025 to 0.250, the most preferably approximately from 0.035 to 0.100.For example, a kind of warp thread is that polyester, weft yarn are pipe layer in nylon 6 woven, has found that its dry type coefficient of static friction is that longitudinal axis, material are 0.064 during for high density polyethylene at force direction.And being its corresponding friction factor of the poly similar material of heat curing-type, warp thread is about 0.073; A kind of all is that its corresponding friction factor of material of heat curing-type polyester yarn is about 0.090 in warp-wise and broadwise; A kind of its corresponding friction factor of material that all has true qualities nylon 6 raw yarns in warp-wise and broadwise is about 0.067.Aforementioned four kinds of materials acting force during along axis of pitch its friction factor be respectively 0.085,0.088,0.110 and 0.110.Its kinetic friction coefficient or the coefficient of sliding friction were respectively 0.063,0.56,0.058 and 0.049 when these materials, material were still high density polyethylene, acting force along longitudinal axis.These kinetic friction coefficient were respectively 0.064,0.067,0.078 and 0.075 when correspondingly acting force was along axis of pitch.Although these coefficients of sliding friction of being tested are highly preferred, but the present invention also comprises wideer scope, for example approximately from 0.0050 to 0.1250, the intermediate value that also comprises this scope approximately from 0.0075 to 0.0625, and narrower range approximately from 0.0100 to 0.0250.
Further feature of the present invention relates to the hatch frame of passage in the inner tube structure.Except adjacent each layer had different width, the present invention preferably further comprised a kind of characteristic of layers of material, and this characteristic is relevant with the hatch frame of the passage that forms between each layer and by each layer.This material behavior of each layer is a kind of elastic force of spring-like, and this elastic force can make inner tube structure keep upright freely (free standing) state, as the state of the inner tube structure 100 of Fig. 7 shown in for example.When surface 200 when interior pipe 100 being flattened fully on surface 200 by actuator 202 under the effect of applying test force F, and in actuator 202 withdrawals, when directed force F discharges, interior pipe 100 preferably can rebound fully or bounce back into its original free-standing state basically fully." fully flatten " is meant layer 104,106 and 108 deflection of broad and is biased on the narrowest layer 102, and till added test force F reached peak value, further compression and interior pipe l00 did not damage at the peak value place.This state that flattens fully comprises turning up between broad layer 104,106 and the 108 overlapping pleats.In pipe is under identical mode in pipe 100 or constructed according to the invention another, the peak value test force that is wherein applied is about 85% to 100% o'clock of peak value test force last time, preferably can not compressed once more.Pipe can keep the structure of its opening more in this means, and cable passes cable passage by this opening.
Fig. 8 is similar to Fig. 6, and it is depicted as another interior pipe layer material bar 200 constructed according to the invention.Bar 160 shown in the image pattern 6 is the same, and bar 200 comprises that one has warp thread 202 and weft yarn 204 braiding structures.Bar 200 further comprises an isolated body 206, it can stop air to flow through bar 200 between warp thread 202 and the weft yarn 204, the bar of this sealing can make cable blow over inner tube structure and not have the Pneumatic pressure loss, and this Pneumatic pressure loss is from the air duct that outwards passes through layer body.
All layers of pipe in sealing strip can be used to form, but it more preferably is used for forming the outermost layer of inner tube structure.For example, available a pair of bar as bar 200 forms the outermost layer 16 and 22 of above-mentioned inner tube structure 10; An available bar as bar 200 forms all layers 102-108 of above-mentioned inner tube structure 10.In the embodiment shown in fig. 8, isolated body 206 is the very thin plastic materials of one deck, and it is attached in hot pressing on warp thread 202 and the weft yarn 204.If inner tube structure includes a plastics air insulated body as layer body 206 on the position of geared cable passage inner face, this air insulated body is preferably formed by a kind of plastic material so, and the temperature of fusion of this plastic material is not less than the temperature of fusion of the plastic casing material of the cable of blowing over passage.
